"If someone falls in love with a flower that is unique among billions of stars, when he looks at these stars, this is enough to make him feel happy. He can say to himself: 'My flower
The flower is on one of the stars...', but if the sheep eats the flower, it will be as if all the stars have been extinguished at once!"
——Antoine de Saint-Exupery, "The Little Prince"
After Dongfang Yani fell to the ground and began to meditate, the ones who suffered the biggest impact were actually not the Star Reavers, but Jiutian and the others.
Amamiyagawa, who was originally looking crazy, froze like a deflated rubber ball, staying in mid-air like a sculpture.
One minute.
If you only had one minute left in your life, what would you do?
Cursing? Struggle? Fury? Sadness?
Or should we wait like Dongfang Anie? Or just stay in a daze like Amamiyagawa?
Perhaps until this moment comes, we won’t know what choice we will make.
Mikkelsen finally escaped from the quarrel, so he took off his glasses and looked up at the sky that had turned into darkness.
The sun is gone, but it doesn't matter, there are still stars.
There was no emotion on his thin face, he just felt a little tired.
All the evolved ones were prepared to die before the war, so now he actually has no fear, but is just a little tired.
Is it finally coming to an end?
He suddenly felt a little envious of Fang Qiao and the others. At least those people died in battle, but what about his own side? Being killed by the compatriots he wanted to save?
It sounds a little ridiculous and a little sad.
The power of insect crystals activated by nuclear bombs can reach the peak of Bai Ya after explosion.
Coupled with the superimposed rebound of Jian Cun, its final destructive power is estimated to reach the initial level of Zi Lei, or even approach the intermediate level of Zi Lei.
No one present could bear such power.
So he shook his head and closed his eyes as well.
Gu Haoran took a long breath.
Originally, he still had a lot to say and a lot to ask, but when he saw the looks of his companions around him, he suddenly didn't want to say anything more.
It doesn't make any sense, you're going to die anyway.
However, he still thought of something and turned to look at Jiutian and Wen Yunyun.
"Boy, I'm sorry for involving you." Gu Haoran's eyes looked a little guilty. He was always like this. Although many things were not his responsibility, he subconsciously wanted to take responsibility for something.
Such people are too kind, so they are often the victim.
But it is also true that such people will also have extremely strong cohesion and trust. They are the cornerstone of the world's continuous improvement.
"What are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with you." Jiutian shook his head, "Maybe it's because we are unlucky. I have always been unlucky."
Thinking about it carefully, Jiutian was right as he said. Ever since he embarked on the path of evolution, things have not gone smoothly for him. Things like being invaded by foreign things into his soul, being almost beaten to death by his other self, and so on.
Seeing that he was still so calm, Gu Haoran couldn't help but smile.
From the first moment he saw Jiutian, Gu Haoran admired this boy. If he hadn't been unwilling to join any force, he would have brought him closer to his team at all costs.
What happened later also means that he didn't make a mistake. Although sometimes he talks all the time and makes mistakes, he is actually very reliable.
It's a pity that such a good child has to die here.
Thinking of this, Gu Haoran felt a little guilty again.
"When you two retreat to the edge later, I will stand in front of you." Gu Haoran warned, "If any of you have a chance to survive, remember to find my incompetent apprentice and tell him..."
Halfway through, he smiled bitterly.
"Forget it, what am I dreaming about? You two... well, I won't interrupt you. Let's take advantage of the last moment to say goodbye."
After saying that, Gu Haoran flew not far ahead and sat cross-legged in mid-air.
There are still dozens of seconds left, what more can be said?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiutian turned to look at Wen Yunyun with a complicated mood.
From the very beginning, Wen Yunyun had been in a daze, as if thinking about something. Jiutian thought she was frightened.
In the face of death, Jiutian was not afraid, or in other words, Jiutian had been prepared for death since Lain told him the prophecy, so until now he even had the feeling that "this moment has finally arrived."
Of course he would not be reconciled. After all, his family and friends are still alive, and he still has some goals that he has not yet had time to achieve. It would be a pity to die like this.
But that’s how life is, isn’t it? Regrets are always greater than perfection, and the number of failures is always greater than the number of successes. But because perfection and success are so beautiful, even if they only happen occasionally, the experience is enough to support a person’s life.
Go down.
Jiutian's character is like this. His previous life was too dull and his character was too lazy, so he lacked some motivation and goals of "must survive".
So dying like this is actually not a big deal to him.
Who will not die?
It's just that... Wen Yunyun is different. She may not have thought that she would die like this before. It is normal to not adapt to such a sudden situation at this time.
Wen Yunyun stared blankly at the light blue curtain wall in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
Jiutian felt a little distressed when he looked at her. She was the one who least deserved to die among all the people on his side.
But if the prediction is correct, she should be the only one who can survive.
Jiutian had some speculation about the bracelet Wen Xin had given to Wen Yunyun, which was part of the reason why he could still remain calm.
That's because Wen Yunyun may not have to die.
"Yunyun?" Jiutian asked.
The girl came back to her senses, blinked, looked at Jiutian and suddenly hugged him.
"What are you..." Jiutian was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Wen Yunyun took the initiative to hug him.
"Jiutian, let me ask you." Wen Yunyun looked up at him, her eyes as clear as a lost lake.
"What?"
"What do you like to eat? What songs do you like to listen to? Do you like keeping pets?"
"Also, your family relationship is not harmonious? Do you have any brothers and sisters? Is your work going well?"
The girl began to recall those questions very carefully.
Just now, she finally straightened everything out.
All logic, all causes and consequences, all beginnings and endings.
Unfortunately, it was too late to explain clearly to Jiutian, so Wen Yunyun made a decision.
Let him discover it for himself in the future.
Wen Yunyun is of course a very smart girl, and even the word smart is far from enough to describe her.
Because she was the first person to guess the intention of the one in the sky. If Luoneng knew about this, she would probably feel very complicated, right?
"Why are you asking these questions?" Jiutian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Say it quickly."
"Well... I like to eat barbecue, listen to soothing songs, and keep pets."
"The family relationship... is quite harmonious. I don't have any brothers or sisters, and my work is normal. Maybe before this."
"What happened?" Jiutian held Wen Yunyun's hand slightly tighter.
Wen Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled, like a ray of sunshine shining into Jiutian's heart.
"That's great, so my dad won't stop us from being together."
As she said that, on the wrist of the hand she was holding Jiutian, the mechanical bracelet that Wenxin had put on her before in Australia seemed to come alive. A ray of silver began to snake from her wrist to Jiutian's.
On hand.
Luo Zeng chose two people on earth, one named Dongfang Yi and the other named Wen Xin.
On the surface, these two people are ordinary and have no intersection with each other, but Luo selected these two people for his own reasons and gave them gifts respectively.
When the gift came, Wen Xin had just escaped from the third stage of inheritance. At that time, he heard a sentence in his mind, and then a silver bracelet appeared on his wrist together with the inheritance armguard.
Wen Xin understood the purpose of this bracelet as soon as she got it. It was perhaps the most powerful means of protection on the planet. Not even Ivy...no, not even Zi Lei could harm his defensive items.
Wen Xin naturally regarded it as her biggest secret and kept it carefully until she took it out and gave it to her daughter in Australia.
After all, her life is more important than my own.
So even if Dongfang Yanie insists on letting Wen Yunyun serve as a hostage, Wen Xin is confident because he still has the last resort to protect her.
But he ignored one thing, which was actually very simple, even ordinary, that is: a girl fell in love with a boy, and this girl was extremely kind.
However, Wen Yunyun chose Jiutian not entirely out of love, but also out of trust.
If all the high-level white buds on the earth die, what will the earth look like?
Wen Yunyun likes Jiutian and is determined to trust Jiutian.
She always felt that this boy was someone who could change the world.
"What on earth is this?" Jiutian's heart became more and more uneasy. He had never been so uneasy even when he knew he was going to die.
"Jiutian, live well." A light rain fell on the lake in Wen Yunyun's eyes, and she suddenly thought of her mother.
She must have suffered tremendous pain when she was hugged by her as a child, but her eyes looked at her so tenderly.
"Remember to tell my dad that I'm sorry for him."
"Yunyun, what are you talking about? What did you give me? Take it back quickly!" Jiutian became more and more panicked. He had never been so panicked in his life, even when he learned that he was about to die.
So confused.
He tried every means to take off the mechanical bracelet on his wrist, but with his Bai Yaqi strength, he could not shake it. His mental power was exerted on the bracelet with all his strength, and it was even close to squeezing his wrist with blood.
It was about to dig deep into his muscles and bones, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.
Because Jiutian vaguely understood what Wen Yunyun wanted to do, and he absolutely couldn't accept it.
In the distance, the light blue light curtain suddenly trembled, and along with Orsho's crazy roar, it began to become unstable.
Something erupted underground.
Jiutian was as panicked as a bird that mistakenly entered the waiting hall, while Wen Yunyun was as calm as an eternal star.
"Jiutian, I like you."
The girl hugged the boy, her voice was very soft, and she finally said these words, as if she was whispering next to his soul.
Not too long ago, the stars woke up from their sleep and opened their eyes to see the moon.
The moon also looked at her, the bright moonlight wrapping the stars in the softest way.
So the stars fell in love with the moon, and the moon fell in love with the stars in her eyes.
"No, Yunyun!" Jiutian suddenly felt an empty space in his heart.
Explosions far beyond what human ears can detect swept through, along with the strongest kinetic energy, light energy, and heat energy in the history of the earth.
This energy spread rapidly, was blocked by the wall, and then bounced back and continuously superimposed to form a force that no one had ever seen before.
Even the light curtain formed by Jian Cun was shaken at this moment, and the power comparable to Zi Lei Qi was released, engulfing everyone present.
"No! Earth! You will die! You will all die with me!" Orsho finally couldn't keep calm at the last moment of his life. He looked like crazy, and the time domain was restarted at this moment!
One second, two seconds...
"I don't want to die, I can't die!!"
Orsho started to run away frantically.
Three seconds, four seconds...
"Earth, you will regret it! You will regret it!"
Orsho couldn't escape from this area no matter what, rushing towards the light curtain again and again like a fly.
After five seconds, the timeout ends.
The flames of the explosion drowned him again, silently and without mercy.
Orsho, who traveled across the galaxy, never imagined that he would actually lose his life on such a planet.
The genius of the lizard race, the possessor of the precious attribute of time, passed away.
Dongfang Yani looked at the great light in front of her and moved her lips, but in the end she did not say the last words.
Mikkelsen closed his eyes and spread his arms.
Gu Haoran sighed again.
Amamiyagawa exploded his head in advance.
The girl in Jiutian's arms was completely vaporized within 0.01 seconds.
Although the time was short, Jiutian could still see the disappearing layers of skin, flesh, bones and blood, as well as the evaporated tears and the smile that had been there from beginning to end, and then disappeared in the violent and silent explosion.
Jiutian could do nothing but watch all this until the surroundings fell into darkness and silence.
